I admire him because instead of telling suffering people to pick up a gun and fight to overturn immoral laws, he told them that they can change the law by appealing to their oppressors' inner morality and love. Same with Ghandi.
MLK may have his blemishes and faults, but one thing is clear--he chose the path less traveled by effecting change through peaceful means instead of violence. It's easy to use anger and hate to create change. Unfortunately, this plants even more seeds of hate and destruction. It takes a real hero to appeal to the humanity in all people to make the right changes.
R.I.P. MLK, you remain an inspiration to people around the world.
